Abstract
Major League Baseball's ban on players and staff using any type of tob acco during minor league games may provide physicians with a timely ex cuse to discuss smokeless tobacco with young patients. Chewing and dip ping remain a significant health problem, especially among young men. Some athletes even associate smokeless tobacco with winning-a misconce ption that physicians can help eliminate.
